Network communications have become increasingly important in today's society. One aspect associated with communications relates to information distribution. In certain scenarios, bursts of information or sudden peaks in call or session volume may overwhelm network nodes or information gateways. In addition, heavy traffic may inhibit system performance by restricting communication flows and eliminating the ability to provide enhanced services to selected end users, subscribers, or components. Moreover, the ineffective distribution of data not only results in certain elements being overwhelmed, but may further provide an environment in which network resources may be underutilized or remain stagnant as other inferior components or devices are flooded with information that is unable to be processed. Accordingly, the ability to provide an information distribution architecture that efficiently manages data provides a significant challenge to network operators and system designers in the communications industry.
